Who We Are

India's Trusted Maritime Services Partner

Pelagia Marine Services Pvt. Ltd. (PMS) was founded in 2014 by two Master Mariners — both alumni of the world-renowned T.S. Rajendra maritime institute — with over 25 combined years of sailing experience and 20+ years of professional experience in shipping, offshore, and dredging. The company manages Bulk Carriers, Tankers (Crude, Product, Chemical), Containers, Self-Unloaders, Trans-shippers, OSVs / PSVs (DP1–DP3), Dredgers, and Multi-utility Crafts.

In today's competitive and specialised market, as vessel owners continue their attempt to lower costs without compromising on safety and quality, the need to outsource operations to a trusted third party is growing. PMS is well equipped to support and manage the entire gamut of Maritime Services for clients in India and abroad — with close to 150 floating staff currently on managed vessels and an equal number on leave.

Branch offices in Singapore, Surat and Visakhapatnam enable dedicated attention to our pan-India and global clientele.
